1,530,802 C. S. ANDERSEN SOLDERING AND WELDING DEVICE Filed June 28,1924 3 Sheets-Sheet 5 permitting the head 12 of the plunger to engageith21, underthe action of the spring '3;

; ii- SE2 l i a I The main member 18 of the workhQlder is provided atone end, with a disk-like (Figure 3) head 22 disposed at right angles(Figure 2) to the length ofthemainmember 18. The head 22 has a stem 23(Figure 4) whereon a clamping id'iskc24 is jiouimaled;

larged abutment plate-36located at one side I of: the main e member 18of the .work holder, Tlie auXiliary "member 29 (of the Work holders 17is in the formlof a-bar, adapted to be dis'po'se'd in parallelism withthe main member'18,"theaiixiliary' member having an offset 'end 30(Figure 1) carrying a transverse finger 31 (Figs. 4 and 5), -the fingerbeing received in the seat 25 of the' clamping'disk24 The reason forproviding the auxiliary member 29'Withthe otfse-tend 30 is 1 to permitthe-- membr' 29 to f-be disposed midway between the upper and loweredges of-'th'e"-'main member l8, as in -Figure 1, it being recalled that-the seati 25 which re ceives the'finger 31-is not disposedin the a -xisof -th main -memberil 'ti 0f the work ho-l'der,

as 'Fi hi in the seat 25. This operation permits' a chainge 'in thespace between the {parts 29 and 18, and permits' radiator's br other objects'ofdifljerent thicknesses tobe'held be-' tweauiaparts 1s and 2 9.Thefing'er 31* fbi'k i er. 'flh Y J q i i f i i ff ia r'y member '29 inany "position to I hich it may havebeenadjusted,

Thes s-ad "or Ethe auxiliary member '29 which is remote from theclamping disk- 24 is iplVO'ted at323 to transversearta 32 adapted to bereceived infthe'no-tch 28 which 607'? eiristsinone end of the'mainmember18 of the 'iv'drli "holder 17. The 32 'has an abutment 34which mayengage one side of the fhead' 27 of the member 18, a nut '35beingthreadedon thearm, and the nut be- 'ing'adapt'ed to engage theopposite side of gurej 4 wi'1l 'show, rheaag r 1 of the' I auxiliarymember 29 may b moved endwise the head 27, as shown in Figure 2. A clampscrew 37-;is threaded in the intermediate portion of the auxiliarymember 29 of the work holder and is equipped at its inner end with yaswiveled foot 38 (Figure 3):

, 24, and since the pivoted arm 32 carries the nut 35, it is obviousthat radiators of different thicknesses may be held during theperformance of work thereon, it being pes sible to dispose the radiatorat any angle between a horizontal position and a vertical position,owing to the provision of the ball 21', the ,slot'6, and attendant partsdepicted in Figure 3. Y r F I The numeral 39 designates a viseabuttingat one end against the member 36 ofzthe head 27* of the main member 18of the work holder, and including a stem 40, journaled for adjustment inthe head 27, and heldin adjusted position by a nut 41, threaded on thestem and adapted to engage the head 27. The vise is disposedapproximately at right angles to the main member of the' work holder 1and is adj ustable about an axis represented by thestem'40;

Inth'e eventfthat thejopera'tor is not working upon a radiator,"themacliine may bearrangedas in Figure 9," under which circumstances, theauxiliary member 29 and parts associated therewithare removed, recoursebeinghad to" an; 'aukiliary member 42-l p-rovided at one end with aclamp 43 which may be used? either alone, oIf-iri conjunction tlie visefor retaining parts; whichare -ito bej soldered or welded, "The fingerof-the auxiliary member 42, corresponding to the finger 31 of theauxiliary member 2 9,"i's, in the form of a rod 45, adapted to bereceived in the seat 25 of the clamping disk 24fthe rod or finger 45having a. terminal enlargement 46, carrying *a stem47; whereon aclamping disk 48 isrotatabIe fer adjustment, a nut 49 being threadedtonthe stem and being adapted to cooperate with the dam ing disk 48, thedisk being provided in it s inner surface with a seat or notch "50,wherein the auxiliary member '42 is adjustable both by rotation and 'bylon'gitudinal movement, thereby to position the clamp-v 43 as theoperator may Wish, i c

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In afdeviceof the class described, a support, a Work holder disposed trans verselyof the support and comprising a main member, means for connecting themain member with the support to permit the work holder to swing from aposition above the support to a position at one side of the support, aclamp rotatable for adjustment on one end of the main member, means forholding the clamp in adjusted positions, the work holder comprising anauxiliary member adapted to be disposed approximately parallel to themain member, the auxiliary member having an angularly disposed fingerwhich is rotatably adjustable, and adjustable end-wise, between theclamp and the main member.

2. A device of the class described, con structed as set forth in claim1, and further characterized by a work retainer on the auxiliary member,a work retainer ax ially adjustable on the main member and cooperatingwith the first-specified work re- 539 tainer, and means for holding thelastspecified work retainer in any position to which it may have beenadjusted axially.

3. A device of the class described, constructed as set forth in claim 1,and further characterized by the fact that the auxiliary member ismounted to swing on the finger, for adjustment in a plane parallel tothe finger, the auxiliary member being axially rotatable on the finger,and being movable endwise on the finger, for adjustment, and a singlemeans "for holding the auxiliary member and the finger in any of theadjusted positions specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
